This is, on average, the number of doping controls suffered by the players of the teams present in the last square of the World Cup (France, Belgium, Croatia, England), some having been up to eight times. This, among other things, is what is learned in the report published Thursday by FIFA on its extensive anti-doping program. The authority reveals that 2037 controls have been carried out since the beginning of the year 2018 on internationals concerned by the World, resulting in 3985 different samples (urine, blood and serum). Only one test result was found to be abnormal, justified by an authorization for therapeutic use, and three were classified as atypical but not classified in the abnormal results after investigation.
For this program, "the most comprehensive ever in place for a World Cup ", a target group of 1500 players has been established by FIFA. "Each one of them has been the subject of unannounced checks before the competition, while systematic controls have also been carried out during the competition, both after matches and days without a match," it says.
